Kits

Remember the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle that I started back before Christmas?  Don't feel bad, if you don't...I had nearly forgotten about it too!  I did keep up with printing the patterns, but because life got in the way, that was about all I was able to do with the project.  I decided the best way for me to keep moving ahead was to cut each block into a kit.  Now when I have a few extra minutes, I can just grab a block kit and stitch it together!

Does Printing The Patterns Count?

Between the holidays and a kitchen/dining room remodeling project, about the only thing I have completed in the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle is printing off the patterns!  Hopefully I'll be able to get back to work on the blocks now that the holidays are over and the remodeling is about finished.

Week 4

The Thanksgiving holiday put me a little behind in the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle, but a little more late night sewing and I should be all caught up soon!  Week 4's blocks were designed by Deb Strain, Brenda Riddle Designs, and Zen Chic.

Oops!

Oops!  At least I noticed the mistake before the block was sewn into the quilt top!

A little unsewing, a quick turn around, and now all of my geese are flying in the right direction.  Much better!

Week 3

Three more blocks in the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle.  Actually it was four blocks if you count the one that I made twice!  Designs this week by Primitive Gatherings, Little Miss Shabby, and Jen Kingwell Designs.

Feeling Cocky

One of this week's blocks for the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle was a simple pinwheel block.  I thought to myself that it would be easy and I could whip it out in no time.  I cut the pieces to size, stitched the tiny half squares, and put the block together, but when it was finished it was much larger than it should have been.  What in the world did I do wrong?  Well I got cocky and didn't read the instructions, so I missed the line that said to trim the half square triangles to size.  I wonder if I will ever learn how to read all of the directions and not just look at the pictures?

Week Two

Three more blocks this week in the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle.  Designs by V and Co., Kathy Schmitz Studios, and American Jane.  Another batch of easy to stitch blocks!  I am really enjoying putting these blocks together.  It's like going back to my quilting roots!

Week 1

There were three blocks in week 1 of the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle.  Designs by Pat Sloan, Me & My Sister Designs, and Sandy Gervais.  All of the blocks went together easily and I love how they turned out!
